Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 880



Only Noblemtl

880====================

True empty hometown

After I had developed my powers of yin and yang, I returned to the central plains with Miho and went to talk to Mangryang. Then Mangryang said:

“It’s a little different from what I expected, but it’s a great accomplishment.”

“It feels like my spiritual power is overflowing from my body.”

“Hmm… Then this time, let’s go to the priest together.”

“To Cheon Woojin?”

Mangryang nodded.

“If you are a priest, I will teach you how to use your psychic powers to learn magic.”

Paat

I went to the village of the Mangryang Seonsa with Mangryang. And as I entered the Hwanmu camp, Cheon Woojin shouted at me with a look of great caution.

[ Get out! ]

Mangryang opened his mouth.

“Priest, let me talk to you for a moment.”

[ Death penalty…]

Before we knew it, Cheon Woo-jin had put away Hwan-mu-jin and was looking at us with suspicious eyes. Mangryang looked at Cheon Woo-jin with deep eyes and said.

“You must have heard the story from the Master. I’m currently helping Baek Woong… So, please help Baek Woong, who is next to me, despite my appearance as a death row inmate. You don’t have to help us directly, just teach him a few things.”

” ……”

“You don’t look very good.”

Cheon Woo-jin answered with a slightly fearful voice.

“Sacrificial Death. What’s the situation right now? I observed the sky the other day, and the constellations were shaking like never before. All the stars were expressing their anger. Did Sacrificial Death and that Baekung guy do something?”

The stars are angry?

When I tilted my head at that, Mangryang said.

“Of course. Because we have now obtained the protection of Bango and the causality of Jeonghyang.”

“……!! Bango’s protection! Is that possible?”

“The Nine Heavenly Women were the incarnation of Ban-gu. After finding out about this, I offered the Seven Yo as the coordinates of order through her, and Ban-gu accepted the offering and gave me the law of cause and effect.”

” … he did something truly horrific. Something that no one in history has ever attempted…”

“Also, our current goal is to subjugate the Celestials.”

“I heard that from my teacher. I thought it was nonsense, but with Bango’s protection, it might be possible.”

Cheon Woo-jin sighed for a moment and then said.

“Haa – but if that’s true, then the death penalty and his party will be attacked by the evil gods as soon as Bango’s protection ends. It’s like bringing a tiger into your home, so who wouldn’t be angry?”

“That’s a problem for later. Even if it is, I have no fear right now.”

” ……”

“Will you grant me a favor?”

Cheon Woo-jin stared blankly at Mangryang, then turned his gaze towards me and spoke.

“Follow me.”

“Can I come with you?”

“Do as you wish, death penalty.”

I followed Cheon Woo-jin and Mangryang into the village.

‘I guess the cat guy has no intention of interfering with this matter.’

As I was passing through the village scenery with a somewhat refreshing feeling because I didn’t feel the need for sleep, I went to the valley where Cheon Woo-jin had trained before. Cheon Woo-jin looked at me near the waterfall and said.

“How can I help you?”

I told him that I had developed my psychic powers and that I now wanted to use them to learn magic. Then Cheon Woo-jin looked at me with a strange look and said:

“Please give me your hand.”

And when Cheon Woo-jin felt the power of the yin yang through my hand, his face hardened. He glared at me with eyes full of caution.

“… How can a human possess this level of divine power? Unless he is an incarnation of God or an apostle… What is your true identity?”

“There are circumstances. And I don’t want to hear that since I’ve been training for a long time to eat it raw. Above all, Mangryang is the one who guarantees that I’m human.”

” hmm…”

After repeatedly extracting the power of the yin qi through Jeonwook’s statue, I finally reached the peak by using the power of Amaterasu. I didn’t want to hear Cheonwoojin criticizing me because I had suffered for a long time.

Then Cheon Woo-jin let go of my hand and said.

“Until now, it would have been possible to use a certain level of magic without training using the power of the yin yang. It would have been possible to use it with force, as if using magical powers.”

“That’s right. However, it is limited to simple magic, and it becomes impossible to do so when it becomes complex magic. In reality, it is limited to some intermediate magic.”

When I responded, Cheon Woo-jin opened his mouth expressionlessly.

“Now, you can say that there are no more restrictions. For some reason, your upper body has been developed and your spiritual powers have been greatly developed. From now on, you will be able to solve all problems by spiritualizing your spiritual powers.”

Spiritualization?

‘Oh, now that I think about it, Cheon Woo-jin said something like that before…’

Although Cheon Woo-jin didn’t explain it in detail, he had said that if you reach the realm of Daesung, you will be able to spiritualize your powers or master the Taiping magic. I looked at Cheon Woo-jin with curious eyes and asked.

“What is spiritization?”

“It literally deifies the essence of the power of the yin yang into a spirit. By objectifying the power, it will be possible to ignore all the abilities and efforts that the magician originally had to cultivate and only use the magic.”

“……!!”

“The ultimate in blood recognition ability. It’s like a special ability of a monster.”

Is there such a convenient trick?

I was curious so I asked Cheon Woo-jin.

“Then why don’t you use the divine spirit transformation?”

Then Cheon Woo-jin responded as if he was annoyed.

“It’s not that I don’t write, it’s that I can’t write.”

” hmm?”

“Baek Woong, you don’t even know how much divine power you have. No matter how much I gather, it won’t reach even 10% of yours. In my entire life, I’ve never seen a human or monster with more divine power than me, so you have unprecedented divine power. And without that level of divine power, you would never have even thought of becoming a spirit.”

“Are you saying that you can only attempt spiritization if you have an overwhelming amount of divine power?”

“Yes.”

Cheon Woo-jin said with a look of discontent on his face.

“I really don’t understand. If a human were to gain that much divine power, their body would explode and they would die. How can they endure it so easily? It’s not like they’ve trained their spiritual powers to the limit…”

” ……”

“Anyway, what I’m going to teach you from now on is an ancient magic, so it’s extremely difficult. However, once you master it, there will be no magic in this world that you cannot perform.”

I noticed the expression ‘top class’ in Cheon Woo-jin’s words. I looked at Cheon Woo-jin with eyes that seemed to be wondering if it was true.

“Surely… it’s as difficult as mastering the Taiping Magic?”

“Wouldn’t it be similar?”

” ……”

“But it is the highest level by human standards. I don’t know what will happen to you.”

“What does that mean?”

“The difficulty level for a human to even superficially learn this trick is very high, and this difficulty level almost never takes into account the case where someone with divine powers like yours would learn it. With divine powers like yours, you would usually be an incarnation of a god or a transcendent being, so why would you learn something like this separately? Therefore, in reality, the difficulty level cannot be determined.”

“Hmm.”

Are you beating around the bush saying there is hope?

Anyway, it was good news, so I became enthusiastic and shouted.

“Let’s try it!”

“Just a moment before that.”

“Mangryang?”

Suddenly, just before the performance, Mangryang interrupted the conversation. Mangryang said to Cheon Woojin.

“Priest, I have one more request.”

“Why do you ask so many favors, Death Penalty?! Do you think I’m a fool who will grant them all?”

Although Cheon Woo-jin complained, Mangryang just smiled.

“No way. You don’t think the priest would hate me that much.”

” … I don’t know what kind of car it is.”

“My request is simple. Teach Baek Woong the art of magic, and at the same time, cast the greatest sealing technique you know on one human.”

“Who are you talking to?”

I felt my heart sink as I heard the words of the man who followed.

“There’s a man named Jin So-cheong.”

“Mangryang! No way…”

Mangryang spoke in a voice devoid of any emotion.

“No way. Take Jinsocheong out of the wooden armor right now. I’d better use this opportunity to seal it securely with the priest’s magic. It’ll be ambiguous to kill him now.”

Why?!

Why are you so persistent in trying to seal Jinsocheong? No matter what, this is not polite to Jinsocheong!

He said as I looked at Mangryang with astonishment.

“Baek Woong. I can’t say anything right now, but please trust me… and us until the end. I’ve already decided that Jin So-cheong is a character who should not appear in this scene.”

” ……”

“Take it out.”

Is the Mangnyang really the Mangnyang I know?

Could it be that Mangryang is possessed or possessed by something and is a fake Mangryang?

I even had such thoughts because his behavior was completely different from the one I usually knew.

But after much thought, I ended up taking out Jinsocheong.

‘Let’s believe in Mangryang.’

If you don’t trust Mangryang after coming this far, who can you trust? Even if you are betrayed, if you are betrayed by Mangryang, you will have no regrets. When I took Jin So-cheong out of the wooden box while she was unconscious, Cheon Woo-jin immediately took out the Sanha Sajikdo from his arms.

Swish

Soon, Jin So-cheong was trapped in the Treasure Mountain and River and was transformed into a painting. Certainly, there could hardly be a sealing technique stronger than the Treasure, so once Jin So-cheong entered there, he would be trapped until the end of the world. However, I felt uneasy about the fact that Jin So-cheong had been sealed, so I looked at the Treasure Mountain and River and River, and then Mangryang said.

“Don’t worry too much about it.”

I shook my head.

“Okay, I’ll get it out of the way. But you, Mangryang, need to get stronger too. Do you plan on training here?”

Mangryang laughed heartily at my question.

“I don’t really need to train. I have no reason to. But even so, Baek Woong, I can be of great help to you, so don’t worry.”

“……?”

What the heck? Did I get lucky without even knowing it?

“Then, as soon as your training is over, return to Jangnyeonggok. We will begin the conquest of the heavens once your training is over.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“And talk to the priest. It will be uncomfortable for both of you.”

Nod!

Cheon Woo-jin and I nodded at the same time. Mangryang suddenly turned around and I began to learn the spirit transformation technique of the Yin-Shin Ji-ryeok from Cheon Woo-jin.

Cheon Woo-jin ordered me from the beginning.

“First, let’s start by memorizing this 1499-character scripture.”

” Sutra?”

Saaaah

When Cheon Woo-jin wrote in the air with his finger, orange letters remained in the air, and the orange letters moved on their own as if they were alive, carving scriptures into the air.

It’s 1499 characters long, and it would be quite a headache to memorize it from beginning to end, so I frowned and Cheon Woo-jin said.

“This sutra is the magic of the divine age. It helps you remove divine power from your body without side effects and mold it like clay. The basic step to objectifying power… Only by mastering this sutra can you achieve the first step of spiritization.”

“The first step…? What comes next?”

“How about asking after you’ve memorized it all? I think it’ll take quite some time just to memorize this.”

“Tch.”

I started to grumble and recite the sutras all day long.

‘Oooooohhhh!! Let’s memorize it!’

I started by reciting it out loud without even trying to interpret the meaning, and although it was a considerable amount, I concentrated by activating my brain power and after about ten o’clock, I felt that I could memorize it to some extent. I memorized all 1499 characters after five days and nights without eating or sleeping, and I had Cheon Woo-jin check what I had memorized.

When I confirmed that I had memorized all 1499 characters, Cheon Woo-jin said.

“Okay. Now that you’ve memorized everything, sit cross-legged and recite this sutra in your head a thousand times. Don’t miss a single word.”

” ……”

“The more you memorize it, the more the power contained in the scripture itself will naturally extract your divine power.”

A thousand times?

Are you kidding me?

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, but no matter what, it’s too much… It’s too much.”

Cheon Woo-jin said coldly.

“I should have said in advance that the difficulty level is the highest. And most people who practice advanced magic have to do this much training. The path of magic is also a difficult path, just like the path of martial arts. Do you think Taoists and immortals practice one magic for decades because they have nothing better to do? I wonder if you’ve been handling magic too comfortably up until now.”

“Ugh…”

Actually, I didn’t have as much talent in magic as I did in martial arts, but thanks to my power of the psychic and the power of the yin yang, I was able to use magic easily. Furthermore, in situations where magic was absolutely necessary, I would rather recruit a colleague who could use magic than use it myself. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t face my lack of talent.

Anyway, I started to recite the 1499 characters a thousand times as instructed. It took me less than half an hour to recite them once in my head, and at this rate, it would take at least two months to complete the training. And that was when I hadn’t eaten or slept. If I were to proceed with normal training, it would take at least a year.

Woohoo

After about seventeen days and nights, a change occurred. A tremendous amount of power seemed to be accumulating in my middle ground, then it lightly subsided. At the same time, I felt some of the knowledge of the Earth Immortal Wangryang being unraveled in my head, like a thread being snapped.

Phew!

“……!!”

Okay, I understand!

No, rather than understanding, I was acquiring it! I felt that Jiseon’s tricks, which were originally too high-dimensional to understand, were being engraved in my bloodstream as if they were part of my instincts. The reason I said engraved was because I was in a state where I could understand it without being able to interpret it rationally, just like a bird that doesn’t know how to move its wings.

When I stopped reciting the sutra for a moment and told Cheon Woo-jin about this situation, he answered nonchalantly.

“I guess it’s a side effect of training. Is it because my spiritual power has increased so much…? Then try using the Jiseon technique you mentioned.”

” good.”

“With advanced tricks.”

I tried to cast the advanced magic of Jiseon Mangryang called Banyangsul. The effect of this magic was to strengthen the growth power of mountains and rivers, and it was a magic used by mountain spirits to fertilize the land. It was the moment I cast the Banyangsul on a nearby tree.

Kookookookook!!

” Huh!”

Suddenly, the tree that was only about a foot tall grew to over six feet with incredible momentum. Furthermore, I didn’t use all my strength, but I stopped in the middle because I was surprised, so I couldn’t even imagine how big it would have grown if I had actually used all my strength. In an instant, a terrifyingly large tree that I had never seen before in the human world appeared, and not only I but also Cheon Woo-jin was surprised. Cheon Woo-jin touched the tree and let out a sigh.

“Umm… This is an incredible power. They say that even when using the same trick, the power varies depending on the supernatural power, but I didn’t think it would be this much…”

“Can I now call myself a high-level sorcerer?”

“Rather than that, you could say that it’s a state where someone who inherited the bloodline of the mythical era has awakened that power. It’s different from a normal sorcerer.”

Cheon Woo-jin responded lightly and continued speaking.

“However, unless you understand the theory, you won’t be able to apply it to advanced levels. That’s also the limitation of a blood magician or an ancestor returner.”

“Then is that not a good thing?”

Cheon Woo-jin frowned.

” … It’s annoying to have to explain this, but how long do you think you have left to live?”

” ok?”

life?

What are you talking about out of the blue?

I was dumbfounded and then replied.

“Um… maybe two hundred or three hundred years old.”

Even if my internal energy is at its peak, I can still live to be 150 years old, and if I achieve a half-life transformation or a complete transformation, I can live to be even older than that. Since Myungryongja, Dokgo Seong, and the leader of the Baekryeon Sect are already at least 150 years old, I expected that I would live to be at least 200 years old, and even 300 years old would be easy. However, since most beings older than that were either divine beings or outsiders, I couldn’t estimate how old they were.

Above all, it was because such an old being had never appeared in the martial arts world. I had never seen or heard of a three hundred year old martial artist.

Cheon Woo-jin said.

“That would be when talking only about martial arts realm and internal energy.”

” yes.”

“Now that you have attained the peak of your divine powers, you have far surpassed the human standard of life. Even with half of your divine powers, you could live at least five hundred years, and you would be a superhuman. Let alone, for you now, a thousand years would be ridiculous, and two or three thousand years would be easy.”

” omg….”

“You’re already halfway to being human. Normally, someone like you would either ascend to the highest level and become a great immortal, or fall into the other world and walk the path of the Demon King.”

Are you saying I’m already half-immortal?

As I stood there dumbfounded, Cheon Woo-jin brought up the main topic.

“If you have that much time, even if you can only learn and wield the magic with your bloodline ability right now, if you spend a long time gradually learning the magic, you will be able to use it at an advanced level. The training time alone will take hundreds or thousands of years, but since you won’t age or die anyway, who cares?”

” ……”

“Questions like that are no different from insulting the Taoists and Taoists who are still diligently practicing. Stop talking nonsense.”

Even though Cheon Woo-jin showed a disliked expression, what he told me was information that was beneficial to me.

Right now, I am wielding advanced magic with force, but if I spend a lot of time in the future, I may be able to freely use magic beyond Ji-seon! To me, that was the same as saying that the path of magic was starting to open up faintly.

From that day on, I concentrated my mind even more to finish the sutra practice quickly. I recited it over and over again in my head, and even though it rained all day, I sat cross-legged on the cliff and concentrated. I thought I had no time to rest, so I kept whipping myself into working hard, and although my body and mind were tired, a strange sense of satisfaction came over me.

About two months had passed by then. I was nearing the end of my training and had almost reached the thousandth time.

Ssssssss…

Pfft!!

Suddenly, a huge beam of light rose from my forehead and projected something into the air, and its appearance looked like a black, dark spirit. It radiated a powerful, intimidating aura like a giant. The spirit wriggled as if it were being molded from clay, and soon grew to the size of a human child, and stood on the ground.

‘That’s the spirit of the dark power!’

I uncrossed my legs and stood up, facing the spiritized power of the yin yang.

‘I think I’ve seen that look somewhere…’

And then, as I tilted my head because I thought I had seen it somewhere before, the spirit of the yin yang power opened its mouth.

[ I am a being born from the same. Your wish. My master, give me a name. ]

” name?”

[If you give me a name, I will give all my abilities for you.]

Now that I think about it, the act of naming seems to have had a special magical meaning.

I thought about it for a while and then decided to give it a name.

“… Black Bear!”

My name is Baek Woong and that guy is black.

Then let’s go with Black Bear!

Then, as soon as Black Bear heard the name, his eyes turned dark and he crossed his arms.

[Good. I am the Black Bear. All my powers will be used for my master until I am destroyed!]

Shushuk

After saying those words, Black Bear disappeared again.

” ……”

I felt empty after the ritual of the spirit transformation of the spirit power ended, which was more vain than I thought. In conclusion, wasn’t it just that the spirit introduced itself and gave it a name?

Cheon Woo-jin, who was watching the scene from the side, said annoyedly.

“When you’re done, get out!”

“Now I can just summon Black Bear whenever I need him?”

“There’s no need for that. I’ve condensed the vast amount of divine power into a spirit, so it will take care of everything. This is a special technique used by the original incarnation of the [Ruler].”

“Hmm.”

“And let me give you a piece of advice.”

What advice?

When I looked at Cheon Woo-jin, he opened his mouth with a wary look on his face.

“This is more of an obvious statement than advice… but never, ever use the full power of it. It’s better to be satisfied with using advanced techniques as a secondary effect.”

“Why? If you draw out the essence of the power of the yin yang, it will be several times more powerful than higher-level magic.”

“It would be better not to be caught by the original owner of that power…”

” ……”

I understood Cheon Woo-jin’s words in an instant and my face hardened.

‘I see.’

The reason why the Black Bear’s appearance was familiar earlier – it was because the form of the dark giant was exactly the same as the true body of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Jeon-wook, except that its form had become smaller. The power of the dark spirit was originally Jeon-wook’s power, so it was natural for the spirit to take on his form. And considering how angry Jeon-wook had become whenever he used his time-traveling ability, it was right not to use it recklessly.
